The issue the article presents is neither unique to Python, nor a good criticism of the OO model, so I'm not sure what to take away from this.

One thing I haven't seen many comments talk about is how methods as far more discoverable and memorable than functions. Let's say I have a User object. How do I get their (calculated) age? In OO, I can pretty much guess and let autocomplete do the rest: u.get<TAB> and I immediately see getAge(), along with everything else I can get from the object - much easier than looking through documentation or a huge list of functions.

I used to teach highschoolers how to write basic Minecraft plugins as quick intro to Java and the first thing I taught them was to write the name of the variable, then a dot, then press CTRL+Space. This worked absolutely brilliantly and it meant that they really didn't have to think about types and naming conventions all that much. Is it player_teleport() or entity_teleport()? What about NPCs? Nobody cares! thing.teleport() worked on anything you could reasonably be expected to teleport and everyone just understood that with basically no prior programming experience.
We could fairly easily offer electricity at spot price to as many charging stations as we could build with money from issuing bonds.

I.e., the charging stations would be credit-market-funded and just take e.g. a percentage of revenue to satisfy the investors. Well, sounds like it should instead be shares and just dividends payed out from any actual ROI, but that's not much of a difference.

Using spot pricing could both include load-variable fees to the network operators, as well as paying for more expensive electricity sources when the supply is tight.

This additional profit from squeezed networks would fund both power plants and distribution infrastructure.

It could easily be combined with a futures market, where you e.g. let your car's navigation system search for a route to the destination with stops that fit within the car's range and suitable locations. You'd reserve a spot at the charger, along with buying futures for electricity at the expected time intervals. If you stop for longer than you would technically need, you could buy futures with delivery terms that only prescribe delivery during the period at a maximum instantaneous rate. If the market maker that sold you that variable-rate future delays the charging too much, they might end up having to pay high prices to fulfill their obligations to you.

But all that is what futures markets are made for: shifting uncertainty and volatility of only partially-predictable goods to financial investors that take some fee in the form of gains, in exchange for absorbing risk.
What I see is not over-emphasizing the importance of history but de-emphasizing it as a justification for present day sufficiency.

If you don't like the term, use another one. But without history you're bound to cargo cult computer science where what you have to do next is plan your sprint. Why do you need a sprint anyway? You might never know if you need a sprint any more if you don't know what problem was it supposed to fix.

Cool to see this upvoted here, though I will say this is fairly deep down the weeds — if you’re new to the topic of analyzing trained neural networks neuron by neuron, I’d suggest starting with our introductory article: https://distill.pub/2020/circuits/zoom-in/
It does say that she "unsettled the public" by saying "Bali [is] queer-friendly and suggesting that foreigners can enter Indonesia during the pandemic"
I have not faced this problem. I say that there will be a learning curve to understand the product before a new developer can start fixing bugs or adding enhancements. Managers have always understood it.

For contractors too the learning curve is part of the deal. The contractors get paid by the hour when they are climbing the learning curve. Managers seem fine with it.
Two points:

She did shady stuff like visa runs and not taxing locally earned income. There is reason to kick her out.

This is quite interesting.

I have one of the crappiest passports in the world. It drives me insane to see people take for granted and abuse the things that (visit) visas on arrival offer them.

When I want a visa to most countries (especially western countries) I have to present bank statements, proof of employment, flights in and out etc. but a random bum from <insert_country_that_gets_visa_on_arrival_to_destination_x> can come in without any such checks. I get particularly angry at stories where travellers run out of money half way through their journey and start selling things like photographs or busking to make money.

I'm jealous of but never angry at people for the ability to do multi-destination journeys without the phenomenal logistical planning ahead involved in getting visas for all those destinations - please don't take that privilege for granted. (TL;DR - i can never do the "let's just fly to x and see where we go from there" on a whim)
It seems that this attitude bordering on delusion of being able to change the world for the better is a defining feature of entrepreneurs.

I'd say it's the entrepreneurs which are crazier, even if some of them at least succeed at changing the world and only a tiny subset for the better.
You really believe that she got deported over what probably amounted to a tiny income?
makes no sense. she is not working for a local company nor is being employed through local labour laws. this cannot be a reason for being kicked out of the country. they mentioned she promoted lgbt and indonesia is a muslim country so i would think it was more about that than anything else. just lazy journalism.

Reasons GameStop stock (GME) is a roach not a cigar butt (2020)
I’ve had similar issues and have not found a tool that cooperated better. Here are a few things that helped though:
- App police (mac app) to reduce cpu allocation for any given app
- unplug external display monitor during video calls
- turn off any video enhancing settings in app (mirror video, enhanced light, etc) as well as virtual background or background blur

It’s crazy that I’m 2021 we don’t have video calling that isn’t a ginormous performance hog
Looking for pricing, I get to this page: https://www.8x8.com/products/apis/video

>We're charging on a Monthly Active User (MAU)

>Pricing starts at $0.35/MAU and decreases based on volume.

>An MAU is defined as a unique user who attended at least one meeting, with at least one other user, in the same month. To determine a unique user, we store an identifier on the device's local storage, and that will remain the same as long as the user uses the same browser and same device and doesn't clear their local cache data. Mobile is similar. An identifier remains across updates and gets removed if you delete the app.

So does that mean that if they are running Cookie AutoDelete or Temporary Containers addons, or simply clear all their browser data after exiting, any single user could easily eat all your user limit if they just repeatedly connected to the service? Or, even just having a single person connect on their desktop, laptop and phone once would eat 3 of your licenses?
Yeah, a jailbroken smart TV running Kodi would be great.

Should a self-driving car kill a baby or a grandma? Depends on where you’re from (2018)
There are two lessons:

1) Language is imprecise. We do not communicate with the idea that our words have a unique, specific meaning. This means that you can do things like quote my statements out of context in order to change their intent.

2) People are not perfect. You can almost always find some "fault" in even the best people. People should not be punished for a "fault" unless it does measurable harm to someone else.
What is typically considered an acceptable learning cost / duration in your experience? I am not asking because I do not agree that there is a learning curve (we call it assessment), I am asking because I am curious what people expect.

You can't prevent a downgrade attack on server side, the attacker can simply roll full HTTP on top of your server. And browsers already disallow or warn against submitting passwords over HTTP, is there a problem to fix there? Browsers disabled old versions of TLS, you don't harm anyone by supporting them (except for bit rot of that old code). There are also sites with zealous TLS settings, they support only sha384 cypher suites and nothing else at all.

Why should capital gains be taxed at a different rate than earned income?

If $50 bn is too small amount of money for the government to care, why do people spend so much time discussing the $0.26 bn that goes to Title X family planning?

> No they just tell the travellers to keep travelling and they deny medical care.

I am very unsure what you're talking about here. Illegal immigrants? At least where I live, they have full access to the health service on the same basis as any citizen. Of course they are at risk of being deported, but while here they have full right to health care. In the UK, the NHS will provide primary care to refugees, asylum seekers and refused asylum seekers free of charge in the same way as any other patient. So what are you talking about?

Bottom line: socialized medicine provably does not refuse care to people who are not deemed "worth it". You put ethics above finances, pure and simple.

> If the ROI is positive businesses will do it on their own
> She may not be working for the same firm during that time.

Exactly - you countered your own point here. Which is why the government should subsidise this cost, as it is a net positive for society even though it may not be so for the company. That is precisely the point, and is exactly why we need a government in the first place. Businesses won't care about the environment, workers rights, and other externalities by themselves, because the short-term ROI for them is negative. But the long-term ROI for society is strongly positive. This is why we even have a government.
“The concerned foreign national is suspected to have done business by selling her e-book and putting up consultation fees on traveling to Bali, which means she can be subject to sanctions according to the 2011 Immigration Law,” the statement also said, explaining that those actions mean Gray has violated the purpose of her stay permit.

It also says what you wrote, but that's not the official reason for kicking her (of course, it may be why they investigate her in first place and the reason for prosecution, that's open for interpretation but I don't know the details)
It's still an order of magnitude slower during startup than other terminals such as xterm, rxvt or even mlterm. On my intel laptop I can often see the gl context flashing before becoming the final background color, which is annoying. Requires also way more ram.

It does feel like a watershed moment regarding hedge funds. This is the first time netizens capitalize on hedge fund short favorites and it has been surprisingly easy to cause an absolute catastrophy in the order of billion losses for them. I heard Melvin Capital may even have gone bankrupt?

And how to do it? You get people to invest in a stock that is expected by the industry to go belly up. Seriously. It's that easy. It's not illegal. It's so easy that even semiprofessionals can understand exactly which stock are hedge fund favorites. It's not hard information to come by. And, here's the kicker: There is a potential monetary reward if you enter and exit a stock at the right moment.

So it's simple to discover and execute, and there is a financial incentive, and it's not against the law. This is a trifecta of properties that makes this very interesting to follow indeed.

I just saw this article too: As hedge funds try to cover losses, the rings are now spreading over the market: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-26/hedge-fun...

The author speculates that this might even ultimately trigger a market correction.

> How about file-like objects in python? Many file-like interfaces are necessarily stateful.

Still the state and the functions that operate on them can be separated out. Right? No reason why the state and the functions need to be tied together inside a class.
Most ORMs fails because they map one table with one class.

So, she moved to Bali and made a bunch of money by explaining how to move there during a global pandemic (making money from it probably being what separates her from other people in the "expat community"). Deporting her may seem a bit harsh but I think it's well justified.

Well, at least they're honest.

That said the main reasons for the deportation (from Indonesia)
are again not what the title suggests. This person only had a
tourism visa, and the "unsettling the public" part also includes
the argument that her posts on Twitter suggested it's fine to
travel to Indonesia during the pandemic. So technically the
title isn't a lie as the viral tweet was the reason she got
attention by the authorities, but it's obviously phrased with a
very different implication.
That's not what they said at all.

Yes. The US is even more strict with this. The classic is getting deported or being denied entry for doing private au pair arrangements on vistor visa.

And that's good, but you are a coffee shop and not a platform.
So by this logic Tesla should be banned from all Electrify America chargers because Telsas can only charge at 50 to 70 kW with a CHAdeMO or CCS adapter. And older Model Ss should be banned from Tesla's network because they can't charge at 150 kW. Is that your proposal?
It's been sitting there saying "Loading..." for the last few minutes. My guess is that the web site probably needs Javascript turned on in order to work correctly. That's not a problem, as I can see that the functionality of a game requires the abilities of Javascript. However, you should put up a message along the lines of "This game needs Javascript to work - if you want to play, please turn Javascript on. I promise to not do nasty things".

Sickening. The solution presented is to use Apple products for everything, to avoid other companies having your data. Apple (presumably) asks you more explicitly for consent to collect your data, but they're still out for it.
Facepalm. Thanks.
Usually car manufacturers license some third-party charge point dataset. They don't have an online review component (like Plugshare for example) so the car can't know that the charger it's currently navigating to is most likely broken. This will result in a shitty experience for inexperienced or non tech savvy EV drivers.

Tesla on the other hand knows exactly what's happening on their Superchargers and share that data with their vehicles.
Independent internet, exactly what is that? Governments will simply crack down on any site which does not do what the politicians demand and better yet they have a ready made army of SJWs who will name and shame anyone they can identify; or if your reddit totally botch it and name the wrong people.

sadly far too many people are in the camp of protecting freedoms and rights they personally deem acceptable and anything falling outside of their honest narrow view they will follow the crowd and jump on it with glee.

the same levels of censorship and oppression people bemoan existing in some other countries is nearly here in the West and sadly all I hear is cheering.

>Why do you say they're less beholden to shareholders? Regardless of how much they buy back, shareholders still own 100% of the company.

Apple buying shares doesn't make the rest of the shareholders have 100% of the company. It makes having 100% - what_apple_bought%. They would still own 100% of the outstanding stocks, but those stocks don't represent 100% of the company's equity/ownership anymore.

The fact that the shares are destroyed (as shares) shouldn't matter, if it increases the part of ownership Apple has on itself.
